Products and Services

The therapeutic offerings from JW (Cayman) Therapeutics Co. Ltd encompass a variety of advanced treatments targeting several forms of cancer, highlighting its dedication to leveraging cellular therapies for oncological diseases:

• Carteyva (relmacabtagene autoleucel)
  

  This lead product candidate is an innovative anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. It is specifically designed for treating a spectrum of hematological cancers, employing engineered T cells to identify and eliminate cancer cells expressing the CD19 antigen.

• JWCAR129
  

  As part of the company's expanding portfolio, JWCAR129 is an autologous CAR-T therapy under development for tackling multiple myeloma. This condition, a type of blood cancer, has been notoriously difficult to treat, and JWCAR129 represents a promising advance in therapeutic options.

• JWATM204
  

  This candidate is being developed as a TCR T-cell therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most common forms of liver cancer. By utilizing T-cell receptor (TCR) technology, JWATM204 aims to direct the immune system specifically against cancerous cells in the liver, offering a novel treatment path for patients.

• JWATM203
  

  Another pioneering therapy in the pipeline is JWATM203, an autologous T-cell receptor mimic T-cell therapy. It targets alpha-fetoprotein, a marker often present in hepatocellular carcinoma. This approach represents a targeted strategy to combat liver cancer, potentially improving outcomes for patients with this challenging diagnosis.
